Science

Science is about exploring and understanding the world around us. Science at Cardinal Newman provides our pupils with the framework to become independent learners and communicators in an increasingly complex age. Children learn progressively, building up a body of key scientific knowledge and developing their skills of scientific enquiry. Over time children learn to use their knowledge and understanding to investigate and explain natural and man-made phenomena.

The aims of teaching and learning in Science include

• developing an enquiring mind and a scientific approach to problem solving
